In the end we are finite beings. Our fire is only for a moment at least on this side of glory.

    Your fire shows in each and every poem of yours and I am sure in other aspects of your life as well. I could be wrong but that’s how I see it.

Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte

Words for the Year

"drink from the well of your self and begin again" ~charles bukowski

The Scribble Scrawler

no dust here

Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)

flights of fancy from New Zealand

You're never alone, if you've something to share

Scatteredmockingbirds

All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be
